Tomatillo Salsa, sometimes called salsa verde, is one of our favorite salsas to make during the summertime, along with pineapple, peach, and mango salsa! We love making salsa!

While most salsa verde recipes call for roasting or charring the tomatillos first, this raw recipe is much easier and preserves the tart flavor and bright green color of the tomatillos. The flavor is a little more sour, but so good with salty tortilla chips and all of your favorite Mexican dishes.

The Tomatillo

Tomatillos are the star ingredient! You can find tomatillos at most grocery stores in the produce section. They look like small green tomatoes, but have a husk around the outside.

Picking The Right Tomatillo

Look for tomatillos with a husk that covers most of the fruit. Make sure the husks aren’t torn or damaged. The husk should be relatively tight, and the fruit inside should be firm, but not rock-hard. If the tomatillos are squishy, they are overripe.

How to Peel Tomatillos

Tomatillos can be eaten raw, they are a little tart and have a sharp flavor. When roasted or grilled, their flavor mellows out and the flavor is a little sweeter.

To remove the husks, simply peel them back from the smooth green skin. Make sure you wash the green flesh to get rid of the sticky film left by the husks.

Fresh Tomatillo Salsa

If you prefer a tart salsa, you don’t have to roast the tomatillos. Place the tomatillos, onion, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, and Serrano chiles in the blender and blend! Season with salt and pepper and you have the most amazing fresh salsa!

The color will be super bright green and you will want to grab a bag of tortilla chips and start dipping ASAP!

Roasted Tomatillo Salsa

If you want to make a roasted salsa verde, you can roast the tomatillos before blending.

  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Line a large baking sheet with foil. Cut the tomatillos in half and place cut side down on a baking sheet.
  • Place the tomatillos under the hot broiler for 5 to 7 minutes or until the skins are lightly blackened.
  • Let cool to room temperature before blending.

I have an older Roasted Tomatillo Salsa Recipe that you can check out too.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the tomatillo salsa with tortilla chips, tacos, burritos, quesadillas, taquitos, enchiladas, tostadas, use it as a dressing for taco salads or burrito bowls…the options are endless!

This easy Tomatillo Salsa is going to be a staple in your home! You can blend it up in no time and it’s SO good! Enjoy!

How to Store

Keep the salsa in a jar or container, covered, in the refrigerator for up to one week. Ours usually doesn’t last that long because we like to put it on all of the things!

    Wow I never knew making my own salsa Verde could be so easy and painless, thank you! I will be making my own going forward.

  162. I am obsessed with your blog and the This and That emails every Thursday. I read them every week! I feel like we are friends. Thanks for the great job you do on this site. Lovely work. I can’t wait to make this salsa.

  163. I would LOVE a copy of this book. Even if I don’t win I will try and find it online. Side note, your recipes are spot on and foolproof. Thank you so much. I have used your recipes many times but my fav is the chickpea guacamole. I spread it on toast and use it for tacos. 

  164. This looks great and so simple!  Once I get my hands on some tomatillos, I will be trying this!

  165. This looks yummy! Can’t wait to make it and add it to my list of favorite recipes that I have gotten from you!

  166. Dear Two Peas, I have followed you from the beginning. You always have fresh and inviting recipes and posts. Very sweet family. Thank you.

  167. I’ve been making tomatillo salsa for the last month with the veggies from my CSA and this blender would be SUCH an huge help! 

  168. Love salsa! It is definitely a staple in our house. This easy recipe will be great to try with tacos.

  169. I’ve only recently realized that I like tomatillos, so I’m excited to try this. What a wonderful giveaway!

  170. Can”t wait to try this recipe…love the short ingredient list…..a vitamix and cook book…..Love it!!!

  171. I just copied the recipe, now if I can find the tomotillos. Thanks for the great giveaway.. Love to own a wonderful blender like the Vitamix. Thanks.

  172. Your recipes are no-fail. I cannot wait to try this. And a Vitamix? I’ve had my eye on one for nearly a decade.

  173. I love making homemade salsa and I’ve never tried tomatillo, looks so fresh and vibrant! Being in a cooking rut lately, the cookbook and vitamix would be an amazing to have in my kitchen!

  174. Usually I roast my tomatillos, but I think I’ll have to try this! Have you ever had guac-atillo salsa? 

  175. I was just looking at blenders at Target because mine died, so I could use a new one–a Vitamix!!!!! And my daughter needs the cookbook (but only after I read it and try out a few recipes first!)

  176. This looks so good. I have never made salsa but I would love to try. Thank you for the opportunity to win!

  177. Love tomatillo salsa – really any green Mexican sauce! I am redoing my kitchen and can’t wait to get back to cooking. I am actually planning a big Mexican feast to thank all the friends who helped us with the construction. This will be a perfect addition. Thanks for the recipe!!

  178. I would love to try this recipe! It sounds delish and a lot different from regular salsa. Thank you for the giveaway!

  179. I love  your site! You have the most delicious recipes – even things I don’t particularly like look amazing! I would love to win the Vitamix/ cookbook! I would definitely make the Tomatillo Salsa with it!

  180. Yummy! Just got done making your chocholate chip zucchini bread.. love your recipes! Would love a Vitamix!!

  181. I’m not a fan of cilantro…I know, I know…would you still try this recipe if I didn’t add it? And maybe parlsey instead?

    **T H A N K S ** for the giveaways! Good Luck to ME!!!

    1. The cilantro is a big part of the recipe, I honestly think it needs it. If you really hate it, you can try parsley, but it will give it a completely different taste. I have only tried it with cilantro.

  182. I have never worked with tomatillos, so I am excited to try this salsa! Looks so fresh and tasty! Thanks, Maria!

  183. I’m SO glad you posted this! My husband grew tomatillos for the first time this year and I’ve been trying to find different recipes to use. I will definitely give this one a shot. Thank you!

  184. This recipe sounds amazing! I’ve always preferred Salsa Verde over the red variety! This Tomatillo Salsa looks so easy to prepare…you don’t even have to roast the Tomatillo’s 🙂 I’ll be making this as soon as I possibly can!! Thanks for sharing!

  185. OMG….the VITAMIX and cookbook look AMAZING. PLEASE sign me up for the contest!  WOULD LOVE TO TRY THIS RECIPE, I bet the Vitamix would be a helpful tool for canning.

  186. Perfect timing! I’m going to a Mexican themed fiesta on Sunday and now I know what I’ll be bringing. Thanks for all your great recipes and the chance at the blender and cookbook!

  187. I Love your bright vibrant recipes you make. So fresh and appealing. Thank you Two Peas and their pod

  188. I can’t wait to try this recipe!! I love Tomatillo salsa and practically put it on anything. Thanks for sharing!

  189. I love all the plant based recipes you’ve been posting lately. Recently had to give up meat, dairy and sugar for health reasons. Can’t wait to try out this salsa! Thanks for the chance to win!

  190. I have had my eye on a Vitamix for years! My fav foods are Tex-mex so I am sure I’d love that healthy green salsa!

  191. 5 stars
    This is my favorite salsa! Looks a lot more uniform using your vitamix compared to my blender!! I could literally drink this stuff! (It’d have a lot less carbs that way than the bag of tortilla chips I normally eat this with!) 🙂

  192. Looks so fresh and tasty! I used to live in Texas and am now in the PNW. Hard to get authentic and good Mexican food around here. My husband and I make it ourselves, even fresh flour tortillas! This will be a perfect addition to our repertoire! Thanks, Maria…we have made many of your recipes and they are always fantastic!

  193. This salsa would be sooo tasty on top of nachos with lots of avocado! Love the bright green color. 🙂

  194. Looks delicious! Thanks for the chance to win the blender/ cookbook. Has long been on my wishlist 🙂

  195. We are growing a TON of tomatoes this year – so I know salsa will be something I’ll be making plenty of!

  196. I eat salsa several times a week – accompanied by hummus and tortilla chips, yum!
    Not only am I salsa loving human, I am a smoothie making machine.  Oh and I have an old blender with a mismatched replacement pitcher.
    So as you can clearly see, I would so appreciate this giveaway!

  197. That salsa looks amazing, what a gorgeous color!! All I need are the tomatillos and peppers to make it. Maybe this weekend! Also, I have been wanting a Vitamix for so long. I’m still using an ancient blender that JUST WON’T DIE, but it’s not the best at blending things up well…still some chunks. I would be over the top excited to win one!

  198. We’re making tacos for dinner tonight… wish I had the ingredients on hand to make your tomatillo salsa tonight! Thanks for the chance to win a Vitamix – that would be awesome!

  199. I have been eying the Vitamix but haven’t been brave enough to go for it. It would be so great to win one. Thank you for doing this giveaway.

  200. I currently only have a single serve blender – not big enough to make salsa! I need this vitamin blender!!!

  201. I love salsa. We make it at home all the time. A new Vitamix will make it even better.

  202. Making this salsa this weekend! I will add a little more jalapeños . They will go well with some adult beverages!!

  203. This salsa looks incredible and would be so easy to make in a brand spankin’ new Vitamix! I’m usually more of a red sauce girl, but this salsas got me thinking that I’m open to change! 

    Thanks for this!

  204. We planted a Tomatillo plant for the first time this summer! I love them and can’t wait to try this recipe with them! Yum! Thanks for sharing it!

  205. I just received the Haven’s kitchen cooking school to give to my daughter.. now that I browsed through it I can tell that I, even after many years of cooking would also enjoy it!! AND WHO WOULDN’T LOVE A VITAMIX!!

  206. I love to try out new recipes and may go broke from buying g cookbooks.  I sure could use a Vitamix for execution!!

  207. 5 stars
    Great recipe! This one is great! Can you tell that I really, really liked it?
    I love the color. I love the warmth (especially in my mouth since I live in north Idaho).
    I’m bringing this salsa to my next party/potluck! Thank you!
    Oh, and I would love a Vitamix…. I would love to be lucky!

  208. Would love to win a Vitamix!!!! 
    A great way to improve health with smoothies and smoothie bowls. 
    Hadn’t thought about salsa making. Thanks for another great recipe!

  209. I’m definitely making this! I love tomatillos. I would love a copy of the book and of course a vitamix!!!

  210. What a perfect summer recipe! Plan to make it tonight, although it would probably taste even better if I used a vitamix to blend it

  211. My Mom would love this salsa! She loves spicy anything and may actually make it with it all being in the blender.

  212. Can’t wait to make this. I usually chop everything up and then my fingers sting the chilis and of course I forget I have residual and at some point touch my eye! I can’t wait to try on chicken and fish!

  213. Thank you so much ! Would love to make this with a new blender !

    Your vegan recipes are great, thanks again!

  214. An enjoyable, colorful and easy salsa –so versatile! I appreciate the cookbook/Vitamix giveaway –great resources and tools to enhance anyone’s joy in the kitchen!

  215. Like two seconds before I read this I said to my sister “I need a new blender so I can make salsa” I hope I win! 

  216. Great timing for this post. I recently returned from a Mexico City and have been missing the amazing street food. Salsa Verde was on my list to make!

  217. Years ago, when my husband and I were just out of college and had no money, a good friend of ours bought a Vitamixer. We made so much fun of him for wasting his money, but now in a different place in our lives, with a house and a family of four, our blender gets used much more frequently and the idea of spending that much money on a blender seems a little more justified.

  218. #1 – That salsa looks and sounds amazing! Def want to try it!
    #2 – Wouldn’t love to have a Vitamix! It would be great for all of the fruit-base ice pops we make!

  219. I wish I had a huge bowl of that right this minute…Friday afternoon and all! It looks beautiful…

  220. 5 stars
    Salsa verde is my favorite! I bet it would taste even more delicious made in a Vitamx, especially when you can say you won it from Two Peas & Their Pod! Thanks for posting simple delicious recipes!

  221. I know several people who can’t stand cilantro, what would be a good substitute for cilantro in this recipe?

  222. I want to make this recipe..but have not! I most certainly want to win a cookbook and vitamix!! I LOVE salsa!! Not like, LOVE!!! And hot! I love a habanero!

  223. 5 stars
    So so so so so good! Made it with your https://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/mango-black-bean-quesadillas/.
    Love all your clever ideas!
    And thanks again for the SLC foodie tips. 
    I am called the sauce boss to my friends and a vitamix would really seal the deal!

  224. Love how easy this recipe is. I can’t wait to try it out. The cookbook and blender would be amazing to win. 

  225. I’ve been trying different smoothie recipes (I’m currently dairy free for my 4 month old)  that don’t work in my cheapy blender but can’t afford a vitamix right now. I would love to win one! I’ve been dreaming about a  vitamix for some time and all the soup/smoothie/hummus/salsa recipes I could make with it!

  226. I love tomatillo salsa! This recipe looks wonderful!
    Having a Vitamix Blender and the cookbook would make this even easier for me to make!

  227. Fantastic giveaway! It would be so much fun trying the recipes in the Vitamix. Thanks for the chance to win!

  228. Recipe looks easy to make. Especially if I’m using the Vitamix Blender! Can’t wait to try the recipe! Salsas, fresh, are the best snack!

  229. Wow, that sauce sounds amazing and the color is gorgeous!! I’ve been wishing for a new blender! 

  230. Oh my goodness! How generous of you! The Vitamix is my absolute favorite kitchen tool! To have one of my very own would be dreamy!! ❤️

  231. I love to make salsa, but have had to use my immersion blender. It would be great to finally have a vitamix! I will try this recipe because it doesn’t require cooking the ingredients first. Thanks for having this contest.

  232. I love salsa but I’ve never seen a green salsa that isn’t cooked in some way before. It looks delicious! Can’t wait to try it…

  233. We love tomatilla anything!! Our Vitamix is several years old so it would be amazing to win this newer version – we use it every day so it would probably be a good idea! We love your chocolate banana bread and made it several times. Just made the chocolate zucchini bread and can’t wait to eat it! One of my favorite recipes is your Raspberry Almond Scones – to die for!!!

  234. I love this recipe and your blog! The color of this salsa is so pretty–I can’t wait to make it for a BBQ this weekend. 

  235. I usually roast my  tomatillos, garlic, shallots, etc and then blend them. However, this recipe  is much quicker and very fresh looking! So vibrant. I am willing to try new recipes and think I will try this way of making the salsa. Of course, the blender would make that much more doable!

  239. I love tomatillo salsa! I’m all about the taste, but it’s a beautiful color too! I can’t wait to try this, thanks for the recipe and the great giveaway.

  240. Love all of your recipes & so excited about meal planning help! I am in great need of a vitamix as I kinda used my old inevitability to death! Fun giveaway

  241. Oh, this would be a wonderful win as my current blender is on its last leg. I would put it to great use!

  242. Love tomatillo salsa! Mine always ends up too spicy though, I will have to give this one a try. And of course I would love a Vitamix, but have been too afraid to pull the trigger!
